I'm really worried about my wife. She's had this pimple-like bump on her breast for almost two years now. It doesn't hurt her, but today the white layer on top came off, and it started bleeding a little. I'm not sure what we should do to treat it. Could you please give us some advice?

View allI've been dealing with this scabies issue for almost 45 months now. I used permethrin and lindane lotion, and that helped a lot, but I'm frustrated because I still have these nodular bumps and persistent itching, especially in my armpits and genitals. I've tried corticosteroid ointments and even oral antiallergics, but nothing seems to fully clear it up. What else can I do to get rid of them and the itching once and for all? I'm pretty concerned about why this is just not going away.
That means there are active mites still present visit dermatologist for complete course of the treatment and councelling regarding preventive measures.

I'm getting really itchy all over my body whenever the weather is humid, and I'm not in an air-conditioned room. It's super uncomfortable! Any idea why that's happening or what might be causing it?
Itchy skin in humid weather could be due to a condition called prickly heat, also known as heat rash. To relieve the itching, you can try using a soothing lotion containing calamine or aloe vera. You can also take an oral antihistamine like cetirizine to help with the itching. Make sure to stay cool and wear loose, breathable clothing.

I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?
Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
